RE: nt
Indeed, what Al says is very correct. I wrote one yesterday, and it works fine on both platforms. You must have overlooked something, like putting the Xtras on the same level, or maybe you've put the mac xtra's on the PC side??? You should double-check the whole thing, it works for sure. I use toast deluxe 4.2, and I never had problems, except for having to write the CD again because I had forgotten a file here or there.

RE: combo box
Well, whatever the common usage, technically a combo box is a combination of an input field and a drop-down list, like a font size selector. More to the point is that OSControl (http://www.peghole.com/xtras/osc_xtra/ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) includes two kinds of drop-down menus--one like the the font selector in Director, and the other like a menubar drop-down menu.

Re: StreamingMedia or MpegXtra?
> I first get an error that ActiveX is not installed (although I know it is) ActiveX Xtra is not shockwave-safe. That means that while you CAN stream your video from the web into your Director .exe, you can't do it from shockwave. But if you just want to play the video on a webpage, I'd suggest you bypass shockwave, and embed the Windows Media Player ActiveX control into your HTML page instead of your .dir. Explanation: ActiveX Xtra allows you to embed ActiveX controls of any sort into your Director application, including ones that are not safe for shockwave. That's why the Xtra is not marked as safe. However, the WMP ActiveX control itself _is_ safe for web security standards. So you can embed it into your webpage, without the added overhead of shockwave, and it works in Mac browsers too. If you need interaction between your .dcr and the video, you may be able to facilitate that communication through the webpage.

Black screen, Dead space. -- Don't put a black Flash movie in the Director timeline! Actually paste it into the start of the QuickTime video using the "paste" or "add" command in QuickTime Player Pro. You'll need to compress the video beforehand, either with Cleaner or by exporting from QuickTime Player using the Sorenson codec. For a 56k connection, you could try exporting at a quality of maybe 10, at 3 - 4 fps, and a data rate limit of 4 Kbytes/sec, at a dimension of 160 by 120 (which you could later, after export, resize and save at a larger size to put in your Shockwave movie). Open the resulting QuickTime movie in QuickTime Player and choose "movie info", then go through the options to find the overall data rate for the QuickTime movie. If its greater than 4 - 5 Kbytes/sec, then chances are that the video will not 'stream' inside a Shockwave movie, or even be jumpstarted into playing with Lingo, until several seconds (or minutes) of the video have downloaded.

resizing the whole stage
hi list,
does anyone have experience in resizing the stage to the resolution of the monitor. i
am currently doing this by setting the loc of each sprite involved to a percentage
ofthe width and height of the stage "on preparemovie". this seems to work reasonably
well. only that if a sprite shows up in the score it is back to the original [position
dictated by the score.
i do not really want to loose what happens in the score and convert the director movie
into a lingo only one, because it includes animations, etc which were used on th first
version of thsi cd-rom.
any ideas?
many thanks,
nik, {;)

Re: DATABASE.... (Complex Database)
If you import the .txt file into a member you can then do
operations on the .text of that member. if you set the itemdelimiter to
"TAB" you will be able to use chunk expressions and everything between
the TABS will be "items". The "RETURN" will signify each "line" in chunk
terminoligy. Using a combination of these you should be able to pull
everything you need out of the file. With regards to you your second
question - if you put the above lingo in a loop, you can then spin
through all the lines checking particular items for a particular string.
Maybe making a list of succesful line numbers:
repeat with i = 1 to textmember.line.count
-- if we wanted to know if the 3rd column contained "tracey"
if member("textmember").line[i].item[3] = "tracey" then
successList.append(i)
end if
end repeat
at the end of this successList should contain a list of line numbers
that have "tracey" in the third column

Re: StreamingMedia or MpegXtra?
hi george, have you ha a look in to the implications of having to have all your asstes in a folder called 'dswmedia'? all external assets to a shockwavemovie have to be in such a folder for web security reasons. cheers, nik ps; but probably the other posts re this subject have mentioned that to you already anyways, isn't it?

Hi list, Simple question from a beginner ;-) I would like to a specific string inside a list of string. Does someone know, and I think so, the lingo function for that?

RE: Re: QuickTime path names on Mac
This was my solution as well, I did the pathnames in the
preparemoviehandler, to go explicitly for the cd, like
member("NameofMovie).patname= NameofCD:FolderWithMovies:Moviename.mov, oddly
enough, this didn't work when I used the moviepath, or @, but it only has to
run from the cd, so this solution is ok for this project. As long as no one
tries to copy the cd content to a different location...
Anyway, it is done now.
Thanks for all the help to all of the list!!!

Subject: Re: QuickTime path names on Mac
Hi Natalie,
Picked this thread up in the middle, but rest
assured Director has ALWAYS had problems linking external movies. And I've
been using it since version 1.0! Why for the life of me version 8.0 should
still have problems, well it's not for us mere users to ask is it?
I have had very similar problems recently in
Director 8, burning ISO/Hybrid CD-ROMs with Toast. My solution to the
problem was to explicitly set the fileName's for the respective movie
members in the "on prepareMovie" handler
eg for Mac:
member("myQuickTimeMovie").fileName = "My Mac:My
folder:Movies:myQuickTimeMovie.mov"
for PC:
member("myQuickTimeMovie").fileName = "C:\My
folder\Movies\myQuickTimeMovie.mov"
This adds a little time to starting the movie as it goes through each movie
member setting the file link and you can't put a movie in the first frame as
it doesn't do all this linking before realizing it can't find the link for
the movie in the first frame. This seems to be in contradiction to the fact
that it should be evaluating everything in the "on prepareMovie" handler
before the first frame. It probably sends off a thread to check the links
whilst it carries on with prepareMovie.
Sounds like you've solved it, but we've all had this
problem sometime or another.
Cheers. Simon Buckingham.

Subject: RE: QuickTime path names on Mac
Ok, now I am pretty tired of this problem. I have isolated the problem to be
the actual burning of the CD, I am using Toast, and have tried burning it
both as an ISO, and as Hybrid, non of which worked, but if I burn it as a
Mac volume, it works! Why?
This is what I found on the technotes:
Why won't my Quicktime movies play once they are put to CD? Everything else
works fine...
This reported by a customer. Problem: When a project that works fine from
the hard drive is put to CD-ROM and subsequently run on CD-ROMS other than
the CDR on which it was created, the Quicktime movies in the Director movie
do not play, much like one would expect when running such a project on
Windows without the Quicktime For Windows driver installed. When the project
was subsequently copied from the CD-ROM back to the hard drive of the target
machine and worked fine. Through testing they ultimately determined that it
was related to the burn of the CD, an ISO9660 hybrid CD. When they went to
an HFS format, the project worked fine from the CD-ROM. The burning software
was Toast and the burner used was a Philips CDD2000.
Don't know if anyone has experienced any problems with this, and found a
solution.

Re: cannot open projector file
Kirk, Xtras are software components that must either be included (built into, bundled) in your projector, or placed in a certain folder where your projector can find them. When you installed Director, all the Xtras that came with it were placed in the folder called Xtras, inside the Director folder. They are used when you author a movie. But when you build and try to launch a projector, these Xtras (files) are not accessible to it. This is where you can read about it: http://www.macromedia.com/support/director/ts/documents/d8_fast-start_stub_proj.htm Good luck! S.
